Basic Open2x Questions


Good to hear. :)

I guess I no longer need to downgrade my firmware; I can wait. Looking forward to the public release for the F-200 version.

Good work, and good luck with the moving.

DR4 is out now, so if this pretty much 'just' works the public release will be out at the end of next week (though I am moving into university on the 20th, so I can't guarantee it yet).
Does this include a binary that I can flash straight into memory or do I need to compile the firmware myself?
I'm looking for a compiled version of the firmware I can use.

THanks

I certainly wouldn't expect anybody to assemble the firmware themselves given how much of a pain some of it has been to put together :p.
 
I'm still waiting for the binary version (ready to flash).
I hope it will be released soon
 
I got the DR4 open2x from orkie. But where should I send bug reports? IRC doesn't seem appropriate cause I don't know if its been reported before.
Anyway here are some problems I had:
1) As pointed out by Orkie, mp3 stutters. I need to play mine at 250MHz so that it doesn't
2) screen shifts sometimes, happens during mplayer and also gmenu2x
3) TV-out shows double image (two overlapped images) (The image becomes one if you run something else and quit back to gmenu2x, but screen is cropped)
4) TV-out does not switch back to LCD
5) if i try to chroot to lenny debian on reiserfs /dev/sda1, I get a FATAL:kernel too old. (I'll try etch instead edit: etch with ext2 works)
6) /etc/mtab has huge number of entries - are they necessary?
7) The issue of multiple network interfaces showing up whenever the device is rebooted/power-cycled is due to the g_ether driver randomly setting the host and device mac addresses. This problem is remedied by passing the same host and device mac addresses during the modprobe of g_ether. For example: modprobe g_ether host_addr=46:0d:9e:67:69:eb dev_addr=46:0d:9e:67:69:ec
8) can't ftp to gp2x (ps shows bftpd -d is running, everytime I try to ftp, ps shows a new process [bftpd] is setup) EDIT: ftp://root@192.168.2.2 works
9) gateway not set (need to do: route add default gw 192.168.2.1 usb0 - put this i Ousbnet)
10) dns (ping: bad address 'www.google.com') even after modifying resolv.conf
11) no samba server?

Basilisk2 seems to work well compiled with dynamic libs. external USB mouse and keyboard works as well.
